Gifted and Talented Groups
Fort Nelson lends itself to a wide variety of studies suited to Gifted and Talented pupils. These fun and exciting days are crammed full of teamwork, challenges and stimulation, that ends in the group building and firing their own Medieval trebuchet.
Throughout the course of the day, the group look at the theory behind the ancient war engine, examine the principles in depth by making miniature catapults and finally design, build and shoot their own life-sized trebuchet.
- Each booking is for a half day (finish at 12.00pm) or whole day (finish at 2.00pm). Groups usually arrive at 10am though this can be negotiated at the time of booking. The cost is £2.00 per pupil.
- There can be up to 4 sessions throughout the day, each lasting between 30 – 60 minutes depending on the age and ability of the pupils.
- Sessions are suitable for groups of 30 and any group larger than 30 will be split into smaller groups and will work their way around every session.
- We have enjoyed receiving groups of up-to 140 pupils in one day.
